You haven't set your environment up correctly as instructed in the
'readme.1st' file.  You must set the environment variable "DJGPP" to
point to the location of the 'djgpp.env' file in your main DJGPP
directory, like so:

SET DJGPP=C:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV

Put this in your autoexec.bat.  You also need to add the C:\DJGPP\BIN
directory to your PATH.

Finally, you are apparently trying to build a socket networking
application in a DOS environment.  This is a major no-no, as DOS does
not natively support sockets, and DJGPP does not have the required
library code in any case.  If you really want to do this, you may want
to try out tcplib (ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/contrib/tcplib.zip)
or wattcp (don't have the URL offhand).

BTW, here's an excerpt from a post by DJ Delorie, retrieved via DejaNews

The DJGPP web pages point to a V2 version of wattcp.  I've made some
bugfixes for my Lynx port, which are in
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/dj/lynx26s.zip
